We seek to provoke personal development and learning in a fun and inspiring way.

We also promote individual holistic health and healing in the form of bodywork and holistic massage, one to one creative coaching and individual Dramatherapy.
As a company we offer different avenues of access:
In all areas we will select from various creative methods such as performance, visual arts, movement, games, visualisation, dramatic device, myth and story, music, crafts and ritual to explore themes, develop skills and deepen understanding of life issues and challenges. We also provide a safe and supportive space for personal stories to be told and heard.
 Our name MANDORLA is inspired by the ancient symbol of the mandorla - the almond shaped segment that is formed when two circles partly overlap. It has been described as the overlap of heaven and earth. It represents the opposites experienced when we are between different demands - the yin and yang, the feminine and masculine, the rational and intuitive.
When the banished elements of our life creep back in from our shadow we need an understanding of the mandorla. It is the beginning of the healing of the split between whatever has been torn apart. It is a place of poetry, metaphor and deep understanding. It is a place where we can be reminded that there are links between what we have always seen as opposites; a possible synthesis, reconciliation and resolution.
In a social political and economic times of discord and disharmony, the Mandorla is the place of co-existence and similarity whilst honouring diversity.
